Answer:

V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of an object is 20 m/s

Final speed of an object is 10 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the average speed of the object during these 5 seconds. Let it is equal to V. Here, time is same. The average speed is given by :

V=\dfrac{x+y}{2}\\\\\text{Putting values}\\\\V=\dfrac{20+10}{5}\\\\V=6\ m/s

So, the average speed of the object is 6 m/s.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 48 and its mass number is 167?
Llana [10]
If its atomic number is 48, then it has 48 protons in the nucleus
of each atom.  Any more mass than that is supplied by the neutrons
that are mixed in there with the protons.

If the mass is 167, and 48 of those are protons, then there are

             (167 - 48)  =  119 neutrons

in each nucleus.

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.

Acid mine drainage is:
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.

Explanation:

Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.

Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.

The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.
